 A unique way to use your INCRA measurement tool to get consistent layout markings. Hola, woodworkers, Paul Carlson here, a small workshop guy. I have a technique for you if you are an owner of the INCRA set of measurement devices. Let's suppose that you were going to do a whole bunch of mortises and tenons and you wanted to do a lot of layout. It doesn't matter so much the dimensions as it does the absolute consistency from piece to piece because one set of layouts will be the mortise and the other set of layouts will be the tenons. And there will be multiple ones on the workpiece on all sorts of different edges. So you got to do it over and over again. Put a piece of scotch tape on your INCRA. And then I used a just a scribing knife to go in for where I need each of the consistent layouts. So I went in and pierced that scotch tape and I drew a circle around it to make it easy for me to see it. So I did one here that was seven eighths from the edge, then three quarters, then one inch, then three quarters, then one inch. With only those holes having been perforated and with them very visual to me, then I can come in very quickly and I can get it in that slot and I can mark it. And then I can go to the next slot and mark it. Then I can go to the next one and mark it. And then the next one and mark it. And so I've got exactly what I want and I could jump from piece to piece to piece to piece and get those marked off that quickly with that technique. Then if I happen to want to go in one inch and then have one and a half inches, then I'd do the same thing. In this case I got another small one. So I'd do the same thing with a small one and so I could just find that hole that I've marked and mark it and mark it. And there I go. This is going to be my mortise and this is going to be a mortise. And then I turn around and mark my tenons just the same way. So it just is going to give you an extremely consistent and more importantly an extremely rapid way to go mark out all your pieces and take out some of the possibility of human error. I hope you find that to be a useful concept, particularly if you're an Incra owner as I am, small workshop guy signing off.
